The basic rule of thumb on ESC contracts. YOU USUALLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. So, if you look at a number of ESC companies and a few seem pretty low cost versus the others, THINK about why that is. Also, READ,READ, the contract about what is covered and what is NOT. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT PURCHASERS HAVE. They THINK everything IS COVERED AND EVERYTHING IS not. ESC contracts are just like your Insurance company. They are betting you will not have to use it for the full amount and you are betting maybe you will. Some ESC's are exclusionary, they state what is NOT covered and everything else not listed is. Others are inclusionary, they state EXACTLY what is covered and everything else is NOT. There are NO GRAY areas in these contracts. If NOT specifically listed, then that item is not covered. The biggest pitfall is NOT getting or realizing they have upgraded clauses. Some, you have to pay extra for Slides/Jacks/WD/Steps and such. Not getting those optional coverages means you are not fully covered if you expected those extra items to be included. Doug
